Someone's in a good mood: Ulrika Jonsson has something to smile about as she heads for a gym workout

She recently revealed that a debilitating back condition had left her in chronic pain.

But Ulrika Jonsson looked healthier than she has done in recent months as she made her way to the gym on Monday.

The 43-year-old TV presenter was all smiles en route to her workout, carrying her gym gear in an oversized Toast bag.

All smiles: Ulrika, dressed all in black, appeared to be in a good mood as she headed to the gym

And she was casually dressed in a black sweater and trousers and brown boots, with her blonde hair scraped back into a ponytail.

Ulrika raised eyebrows with her recent odd behaviour at the British Comedy Awards, where she displayed a dramatic weight loss and seemed to be in physical pain as she made her way up the event's blue carpet.

However she later revealed that she has been suffering from a debilitating back condition which has left her in chronic pain.

Looking better: The TV presenter appeared healthier than in recent months, after recently revealing she was suffering from a debilitating back condition

She recently told Hello! Magazine that the degenerative disc disease had robbed her of her appetite and left her suffering from depression, as well as taking its toll on her marriage to third husband Brian Monet.

There was no let up, none at all. I was in agony 24 hours a day,' the mother-of-four said. 'It felt like someone had poured acid down my lower back.’

I had become severely depressed and just couldn’t see a way out. I had some very dark moments during that period.’

It’s hard when you’re in constant pain to believe that things will get better, to see hope,' she added. 'I
am normally a very determined person, I’ve achieved a lot in my 43
years – but last year took the wind out of me.'

Ulrika is currently
building her dream home in three-and-a-half acres of Oxfordshire
countryside and her first novel will be released later this year.

She also took part last week in 24 Hour Panel People, a show in aid of Comic Relief which featured comedian David Walliams competing in a 24-hour quiz show marathon.

Ulrika also showed off her fun side when she took part in a spoof video for the new Yell advert starring Dave V Lately, who goes searching round record stores for his song Pulse and Thunder.
